Mark Your Calendar: Upcoming Community Fraud Forums

3/12/2014
Families across Ohio are hurt every day by scam artists. Each year, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office receives thousands of complaints from individual consumers who have been defrauded. To fight back against financial predators, the Attorney General’s Office will host three fraud forums around Ohio in April and May.

Experts from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office will discuss topics such as financial crime investigations, crime victims’ rights, charitable fraud, health care fraud, and financial fraud targeting older adults. One hour of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for social workers who attend.
